A Python tool for multiscale nerve fiber enhancement and 3D orientation analysis in large high-resolution volumetric brain tissue reconstructions acquired by two-photon scanning or light-sheet fluorescence microscopy.
Type: Data Processing
Project: Fischl U01
A method for 3D automatic vessel segmentation across a wide range of contrasts and resolutions.
Type: Data Analysis
Project: Fischl U01
A PyTorch-based tool for automatic 3D vascular segmentation in serial-sectioning optical coherence tomography (sOCT).
Type: Data Repository
Project: Yendiki UM1
Platform for publishing, sharing, and processing neuroscientific data.
Type: Data Repository
Project: Pestilli U24
A cloud based platform for processing analyzing neuroscientific data via custom data workflows.
Type: Data Processing
Project: Zeng U24
The Slide-tags Pipeline is an open-source, cloud-optimized workflow for processing spatial transcriptomics data. It supports data derived from spatially barcoded sequencing technologies, including Slide-tags-based single-molecule profiling. The pipeline processes raw sequencing data into spatially resolved gene expression matrices, ensuring accurate alignment, spatial positioning, and quantification.
Type: Data Processing
Project: Zeng U24
The Slide-seq workflow is an open-source, cloud-optimized pipeline developed in collaboration with the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) and the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN). It supports the processing of spatial transcriptomic data generated with the Slide-seq (commercialized as Curio Seeker) assay.
Type: Data Processing
Project: Zeng U24
Optimus is an open-source, cloud-optimized pipeline developed by the Data Coordination Platform (DCP) of the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) Project as well as the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN; see Acknowledgements below). It supports the processing of any 3' single-cell and single-nucleus count data generated with 10x Genomics assays. The following chemistries are supported:
10x Genomics 3' V2
10x Genomics 3' V3
10x Genomics 3' V4
10x Genomics 3' V4TRU
10x Genomics 5' V3
